Hi Zander,
I too am interested in your sx experience with Dr. Toby Meltzer and how you feel about the working and aesthetic quality of your results. Why did you choose him over North American surgeons and how well and quickly did you heal. Of course I too am interested in the costs incurred (with travel expenses) and how you were able to afford this? I am considering every option right now despite being quite broke. Thanks for any info you can afford us. I am also interested in how you started getting yourself into shape post top surgery. Do you have any exercise advice. I am currently 5.5 weeks post-op with Dr. Garramone. Thanks Zander.

I'll be having my phalloplasty on November 26, 2013 with Dr. Salgado in Miami, Fl. He has done mine in 2 stages the first one being the creating of a neourethra in my graft site (forearm) that is later being used for the phallo. The first stage was done Aug 12, 2013. I would be happy to share info about him too if anyone is interested. Mine is also being covered by insurance so I don't have any prices off hand.

John, I'm not aware of any surgeons in the U.S. offering ALT phalloplasty other than Dr. Crane. There are a number of U.S. surgeons doing RFF, even more doing ab or groin flap, and a couple doing MLD, but just Crane offering ALT.
